[Co...] Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 I have a program that i've been running on our Contura for 5+ years that takes a self centering point on a .5mm diameter hole in the Z- direction . For some reason all of a sudden the probe approaches in Z- but when it engages for the self center probing its travelling in the Y- direction. It continues to travel until it meets resistance on the wall of a counterbore. This gives me a false location of the .5mm diameter. Again, this is a program that we've ran for years. Does anyone have any idea what might be the issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Er...] Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Calypso probably changed the self centering settings? Or changed the point vector? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Co...] Posted May 5, 2022 Author Share Posted May 5, 2022 How would I double check the point vector? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Er...] Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 I assume the circle or cylinder for the hole is in the program. Change the Angle Representation. Resources-Feature Representation-Angle-change to vector. The point vector should be the negative of that. +X to -X -X to +X +Y to -Y and so on.
